Higginsville Fair.

Higginsville, August 26. The Fair at
this place is now in progress. Present in
dications are that it win be the best yet
held. The weather has been all that
could be desired to help the exposition
along. The rains that begun Saturday
afternoon, continued nearly all day Sum
day and soaked the ground so thoroughly
as to eliminate all items of dust from this
years programme. The air also was thor
oughly cooled and thus aided in making
this week a most propitious time for hold
ing the Fair.
The attendance at the Fair on Tuesday
was very small it being the first day, but
the crowd was much increased on Wednes-
day, and is still larger to-day. Everything
has gone along like clock work and the
programme carried out in full with the
exception of the speech of Hon. Ava E.
Page which was postponed from Tuesday
until Wednesday. Awards have been
made in most of the stock departments.

PROPOSED COLORADO LINE.
City Attorney Hoffman Talks
About the Line and Gives
Some Interesting
Details.

A BAzoo reporter called upon City
Attorney Hoffman this morning to
learn something regarding the Color
ado line of railway now projecting be-
tween a point ebOut thirty miles south
of Hermann, Mr.. Hoffman's former
home. Said he "For a number of
years Judge A. j. Seary occupied the
bench at Hermann and at the last con-
vention declined reelection. Some
time after he was appointed attorney
for the Colorado line and at once set
about taking the right of way, filing
the same with the recorder.
In addition to this he began making
investments in property along what is
supposed will be the path of the line
and when questioned about the matter
stated that the line was certain to be
built, but refused to give any further
information. Locating parties are
now surveying in Usage county and
at last accounts had passed through
Gasconade county as far as Koeltz-
town. making direct for Versailles. -
There can be no doubt said he, but
that Sedalia will get the road, but
she may have to pay something
for it. Yet / don't quite
understand how they can miss us in
their straight cut for Kansas City ;
being compelled to 60 within a few
miles at all events Mr.. Hoffman
thought that nothing definite would
be known until spring as the locaters
and surveyors would be engaged the
enire winter getting through the hills
and valleys of that section of the
state.

FOLLOWS HER HUSBAND.
Mysterious Disappearance of Mrs
Charles SOrley, Night Be
fore Last.

Yesterday morning about 9 O. clock
Officer Barnett's attention was called
to the tin shop and residence of Mrs.
Charles Sorley, northwest corner of
Ohio and Seventh streets, which to
all appearances had been vacated. In
the residence portion, directly back
of the tin shop, dim light was burn
ing and every thing showed signs of a
hasty departure. The door was un-
fastened and on entering, it was no.
icable that the bird had flown.
Every available article that could be
packed in a trunk was missing, and
the conclusion was soon reached that
Mrs. Sorley had followed her husband
who disappeared uncermoniously
about five weeks ago, leaving his
wife In very unpleasant position.
For sometime before the husbands
mysterious departure his acts indicated
some trouble which was frequently
commented upon by his friends and
the residents in that vicinity. When
Mrs. Sorley was asked relative to her
husbands disappearance she would
state thai she knew nothing about
him I; however, it is reported that Off
GERS from New York arrested him
quietly and took him away in like
manner to answer to some ofense he had
committed while a resident of that
state. The property belongs to M.
ii. Woodfn who is minus two
months rent. Mrs. Sorley one week
after her husband went away gave
birth to child and for time was in
a very precarious condition, but after a
few days illness left her bed and attend
ed to the shop and her household duties.
The evening before she went away
two trunks were sent from the house
but no suspicion was aroused as it was
thought they were being sent to her
husband. 1t is reported that she left
on the 11:55 train last night going
east to her husband in New York.
Yesterday afternoon three attach
ments were served on the goods re-
naming, comprising two stoves, a
bedstead, window curtains, a couple
of chairs, carpets and stock of tinware.
The husband left quite a stock of
tinware which Mrs. Sorley mostly dis
posed of and the creditors will find it
a difficult matter to get square with
the departed firm.

Killed BY Nightmare.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
1t was strangely pathetic death
that fourteen-year-old Charlie Morris
met with early yesterday morning in
his house, in the rear of No. 1927
Vine street. Waking for an instant
he fell dead in bis fathers arms, over
powered by the terror of night.
mare.
Three weeks ago the lad awoke the
family in the middle of the night by
screaming aloud in his sleep. When
his mother ran to his bedside he said
he had seen some terrible thing, but
could not tell just what it was. Lit
tie was thought of this at the time, as
it was supposed he had been eating
green fruit, or was oppressed by the
excessive heat. When, however, a few
days ago he had a similar visitation
and aweke trembling in every muscle,
it was thought best to have some one
sleep with him as the best means of
preventing the attacks.
Charles father accordingly arranged
to be his companion every night. When
the lad returned on Wednesday even.
ing from his work at MELONS tailoring
store, No. 1923 Market street, he was
apparently in the best of health. He
had never complained being exception
ally healthy from his birth. After
eating light supper the boy went to
bed, and was soon followed by his
father.
1t was past 2 o'clock in the moring
when the latter was awakened by the
voice of his boy calling in terrified
tones: "Pop! Pop! I'm afraid, I'm
afraid !" and he felt the hand of his
son convusively clutching his wrist.
Then the boy fell over as if in faint.
The father took him in his arms and
carried him down stairs. The eyes
were closed, but the body was warm,
anG DIR. A. S. Reynolds, of No. 1917
Vine street was summoned. When
he came be at once announced that
Charlie was dead. The shock of the
nightmare had instantly killed him.
The coroner was notified later In
the day and a post-mortem examin-
alton of the body was made by DIR.
Stewart, assisted by DR.. Reynolds.
About the heart was found q large
clot of blood caused by paralysis, due
to fright; otherwise that organ and
the brain aud stomach were found to
be in a healthy condition. and no
cause was discovered to show what
brought on the nightmare. The case
it is believed, will attract wide atten-
ton in medical circles.

fled that the shed was only eight feet

HORSE THIEF CAPTURED.
Joe Davis Becoming a Notorious
Thief-Arrested This Morn
ing and Placed in Jail.

Early this morning Squire Evans,
of Jacksonville, Randolph county,
Mo-, arrived in the city enroute to
Hughesville, armed with a warrant
for the ar. est of Joe. Davis charged
with stealing horse from j. T. Davis,
a cousin, residing near Jacksonville.
About one week ago Davis was fined
$40 before Justice Halstead for steal.
ing an overcoat and in default of the
same was placed in jail where he re-
mined but a short while, his father
coming to his rescue. He remained
at the farm but few days and then
went, as he said, to visit his cousin
at the place mentioned above. JUS
tice Evans made the following state
meme to a BAzoo reporter this morn
ing: son Tuesday morning j. r.
Davis missed his pony from the pas.
ture and upon inquiry several parties
stated that they had seen a man an
swering the description of Joe Davis
lurking about the farm. Mr.. Davis
notified me and | started on the trail
at once. Coming to this city /
hunted up Sheriff Bowers and
in company with Deputy
Sheriff Kemp proceeded to the home
of Joe Davis, about six miles north
east of Hughsville, where 1 made the
arrest, brought the prisoner to Sedalia
and placed him in jail" Some time
ago young Davis sold the pony to his
cousin and thought the cheapest
method to get him again was to steal
him and ride back home, which he
did, but how he expected to keep from
detection in his little scheme is only
known to himself.
Joe has brother, it is reported, serv.
ing time in the state prison for a like
offense and the BAZOo is strongly of
the opinion that unless something un-
usal happens Joe's latest escapade
will place him behind the bars for
some time. Davis was taken to
Huntsville, Randolph county this
afternoon where he will be tried at
the next term of court.

RachelS FavOrite Son.
London Life.

London Lie.
Word has reached Paris that Ra-
chefs second son, who was a comman-
der in the French navy, has succumbed
to an attack of African fever in the
Congo, where he has been engaged
during four or FIVE months on a special
mission as NJ. de Brazza's coadjutor.
Gabriel Felix, for he bore his illustri-
Gus mothers name, and was a gallant
sailor, and during the siege of Paris
proved himself a dashiDg soldier.
When the Versaillais marched upon
the Capital his nose was carried away
by a cOmmunard bullet, and his face
which bore a strong resemblance to
the great actress, has remained sadly
difgured since. A week ago we heard
the poor fellow had been deprived of
his reason, and it is almost consoling
to know that his suferings were not
protractsd. Rachel loved her two
sons with the deepest affection. Dur
ing her long agony their names were
ever on her lips. In one of her letters,
dated from Thebos, she says: "Ah 81
je n'avais pas deux fills, tout mon
amour, je mourrai sans regret; mais
Dieu les protegera. In the case of
the elder the prayer has been heard,
